No. Dear god no. I must be the only one on the planet who thought Odyssey was weird and too easy... no, childlike easy. I got the game for Christmas and beat it so effortlessly that it actually left a bad taste in my mouth. The entire game was more of a cake walk than a Yoshi title and that's saying a lot. The music was good, but not as iconic as it use to be. The gameplay didn't feel like Mario (possessing enemies? What is this? Geist?), the stupid suits they forced you to wear felt wrong and the difficulty was an insult to my more-than-three decades of skill. It just didn't feel like a Mario game. It felt like it was basically trying to be Sonic Adventure/Banjo and Kazooie clone with Geist's gameplay mechanic rolled into one. It felt like it was trying to be something else.
Spoiler alart
The first time in the game where I felt like I was actually somewhat playing a 3D Mario was after I had beaten it and got to Toadstools castle. Hearing SM64's music, the stars instead of moons... wearing 64-bit Mario costume? That was the first time I felt at home... like I was actually playing a main Mario title.
So, no... please, for all that is holy, do not fuck with Donkey Kong.
